2. What is included and not included (for example moving furniture, permits, hidden problems found after opening walls).
3. A note on how unexpected issues will be handled (contact the customer before extra work, with a written change).
4. Schedule and what the customer should prepare.
5. Guarantee terms in plain language (only what I provided).

Labor: 14 hours at 45 = 630. Removal and disposal 90.
Subtotal = 305 + 630 + 90 = 1,025. Contingency 8 percent = 82. Total = 1,107.
Schedule: 3 days; start 2 June.
